135 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
136 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
137 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
138 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
139 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.
140
141 If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed
142 kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
143 version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
144 supplied by Christian Ludwig)

526 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
527 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
528 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
529 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
530 e.g. backtraces.
531
532 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
533 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
534 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
535 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
536 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
537 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
538
539 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
540 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.

1564 For reduced kernel memory fragmentation, slab caches can be
